F.A.Q.

Who should take this course?
‍
Parabola University was designed for anyone learning our tool for the first time. If you have experience working in spreadsheets, this course will translate your working knowledge into the world of Parabola. There is no prerequisite for Parabola University.

Should I take this course even if I’m already working with Parabola’s Launch team?

Absolutely. By learning the basics up-front, your sessions with our Launch team can be focused on building out your use case & more advanced concepts instead of covering the fundamentals of the tool. Parabola University is highly recommended for everyone going through the Launch process.

Does the course include a project?

Parabola University includes building challenges for each lesson so you can practice in our tool. As you go through the course, you’ll see “Building challenge” sections where you can download sample data and practice steps after the lessons. Every lesson includes a video covering the solution so that you can check your work as you go.

How long does the course take?
‍
The full course (including the highly-recommended building challenges) will take about 1 hour. If you prefer to just watch the videos, it will take about 30 minutes on 1x speed.

Is there any type of certification upon completion?
‍‍
After completing the course, you’ll be able to show off a “Parabola University: Building Foundations” certificate on your LinkedIn profile. Find instructions for adding the certificate upon course completion.
